EMERGANCY. Possible infection.

[Dan55]

I have been on test C for two weeks now. No sides but a little soar in my legs a few days after injecting nothing unusual.

However

I injected 250mg of Test C on monday as usual in my left leg(48 hours ago)

Yesterday I was rather soar and could barely walk on the leg. But after reading alot its pretty normal.

When i went to sleep yesterday the pain got worse. It started to swoll real bad.

Over the night the pain got so intense. I started to get intense sweats and the the whole bed was soaking wet. I almost froze to death and i could not move at all.

I cannot walk or move my leg whatsoever. The only way I can move to point A-B is by getting dragged across the floor while lying completly still. Becouse if the leg moves just a tiny bit the pain is so intense.

My knee and upwards looks like its filled with puss.


This is not normal now is it?

I called the doctors office they said your not in an emergancy situation and you can have an appointment in three days.

My leg is about to explode. Called three times and they wont let me in.

tell them you have an intramuscular abscess with sepsis. it is an emergency. or go to the er

After reading on it it looks like thats what I have. Thank you

[Capebuffalo]

Do not tell them steroids when you go. A b12 shot is what it is from. But go to Dr. or ER like Asiandude said

[TOkidd]

sounds like an infection to me

[fit2bOld]

Go directly to the emergency room. As stated a B-12 shot

[AXx]

Doctor ASAP

[Honkey_Kong]

Go to an urgent care place. They'll see you right away. But yeah, DO NOT SAY IT WAS FROM STEROIDS.

When you get home, throw out the gear you bought.

[tngator]

just curious why you guys wouldn't tell the dr about the roids.. wouldn't u want full disclosure?.. i mean they can't report you or anything.. and are you saying to throw it out because it might be bad.. or fear of getting busted?

not sure what all the fear is over.. dr/patient confidentiality

definitely a newbie.. so just trying to get educated with a cycle coming up in november for myself

ive been running gear for 6 months now and before i even started i went to the doctors and got a full physical so that
1) my doctor knew everything i was going to take , still the same today
2) so he had the information if something happened and no one knew the problem

dr confidentally is a major thing , they would lose there practise if they got busted and it wouldnt hold up in court either

always always tell ur doc what u are or have taken , u never know when that info could save u

Hardly. The justice system is usually much more concerned with getting doctors to testify against their patients than anything else. There are many ways to get around doctor/patient confidentiality. And once subpoenaed, they will tell the court anything it asks.
But the issue isn't your doc, it is your health insurance provider and any future provider. They have full access to your medical records...where your doc will make mention of any illegal substances you're using and WILL document what he treated for (like an abscess caused by steroid injections). Do you see why full disclosure isn't always such a good idea now? (in the US, at least)

[Until_It_Sleeps]

Bunch of crap. For one thing I used to work in human resources and out of all the employees, I knew who was pregnant, who had a substance abuse problem, who had HIV, who was seeing a psychiatrist and who had embarrassing sexual problems because I had access to all the medical records...and I was a 20-year-old kid.

Many doctors do look down on steroid users and this will affect the care you receive.

Many urgent care centers disclose patient visits to employers even if you do not use your health insurance; this is something you agree to when you go in. (I suppose you could always give them a fake company.)

I would say any time you seek medical help for anything related to AAS - emergencies or blood work - pay cash and if possible don't give your name.

And, the situation the OP described is an immediate emergency room kind of situation, not a post on message board situation! If your leg swells up and you can't move, there is no reason in the world that Internet Land should hear about it before some random urgent care center does.

[AD]

whether the abscess is caused by roids or b12, the treatment is the same, surgical drainage. so it should not affect the docs' judgement or treatment, whatever you say to him. but it may affect your insurance and may end up paying for the surgery yourself, which wont be cheap.

[stpete]

No AAS conversation w/anyone.

[austinite]

B12.

Could be cellulitis and a hematoma which could be treated by drainage and/or antibiotics. Symptoms would be similar to what you are describing including pain, severe swelling, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc. The symptoms would appear to resemble an abscess or septicemia but would be less invasive.

At this stage, you should get to an ER for proper evaluation as an abscess/septicemia are serious complications that require immediate care.

[TOkidd]

To the OP, could you please share the outcome of your ER visit/treatment with the board? Not only do I want to see if you're doing okay, but I'm curious as to how the treatment is going, and if they anaesthetized you for the lancing/draining procedure, because I couldn't imagine the pain of being conscious through that in your situation. I'd also like to know how you recover from this. As most of us use gear from UGL's, it's very important that we know the potential consequences of deep tissue abcesses/infections. If you could share your experience with us, we would all benefit tremendously.

Thanks,

TOkidd

If it really was an intramuscular abscess, then its general anaesthesia for sure.
